Machu Pichu
The easiest, and the cheapest way
to visit all the area, is to take a taxi for two days at the cost of
USD20 in total. The cost is pretty good, moreover if you find people
with whom share this cost. In the morning of day one, you can easily
visit Cusco and then drive till Ollaytatambo to visit the beautifull
ruins. Then, at night, you can drop in the "backpacker train" from
Ollaytatambo to Aguas Calientes that leaves at 19.45 (2hrs). There you
will find just backpackers or locals (at the costs of 23.80USD
roundtrip>>the normal day-train will costs you beetween 70 and
100USD). Sleep in Aguas Caliente for less then 2dollars each, in a
simply but clean double room (just drop of the train and there will be
plenty of people offering accomodations!), and at 06 AM (the best
time!!!) of the day after take a bus or walk to Macchu Picchu (3USd one
way). Visit Macchu Picchu and climb Wayna Picchu (USD 20,00 entry fee
for MP) and get back to Aguas Calientes to sleep the 2nd night. The
morning after take the train back to Ollaytatambo where there will be
your taxi driver waiting for you. On the way back to Cusco you can
visit all the sacred valley sites, i.e. Pisac (amazing!!!), Calca,
Salinas and all the sites closer to Cusco city, i.e. Sacsayhuamàn,
Qenko, Puca Pucara and Tambo Machai. So, in this way, you will spend
something like USD 60,00 plus the cost of the taxi, instead of USD
120/150 as requested from all the travel agency in Avenida del Sol in
Cusco, with the big advantage that you are the one that will decide the
waiting time in every sites!
